AX27 Clamshell Rooftop Tent is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The AX27 Clamshell Rooftop Tent by The Bush Company is a premium hard shell rooftop tent engineered for long-range touring, off-grid camping, and overlanding in harsh Australian conditions. With integrated electrical systems, rapid gas-strut deployment, and a 200kg roof load rating, the AX27 redefines what a freestanding rooftop tent can do.
The AX27 is constructed with a proprietary B-Tech™ Alloy extruded aluminium frame, stainless steel hardware, and a dual-layer 310gsm acrylic-infused ripstop canvas. This durable build resists UV, water, and mould damage, delivering exceptional performance across outback tracks, coastal storms, and high-salinity environments. Triple-reinforced stress points and stainless steel hinges ensure structural integrity even during extended remote travel.
This gas-strut assisted clamshell rooftop tent sets up in under 90 seconds, providing immediate shelter without poles. Once open, the AX27 offers a generous 1.7m internal height—among the highest in its class—alongside a plush 80mm dual-density foam mattress for all-season comfort. Internal clearance allows bedding to stay in place when closed, making camp setup and pack-down more efficient on the move.
Designed for modern overlanding, the AX27 includes dual 12V outlets, dual USB sockets, and a tri-colour LED light. A high-capacity 50A Anderson plug located beneath the shell ensures easy connection to vehicle power for lighting systems, or charging devices—without the need for DIY wiring or aftermarket kits.
The AX27 supports up to 200kg dynamic roof load when closed and 50kg static load when open, allowing secure transport of recovery tracks, solar panels, or additional gear directly on top of the tent. The reinforced hard shell, combined with M8 roof-rails and integrated Ezi-Slot™ channels, offers unmatched flexibility for mounting accessories without drilling or complicated installs.
With three entry points—rear, left, and right—the AX27 suits a variety of vehicle setups and campsite layouts. YKK zippers and mesh screens provide secure closure and airflow, while a large adjustable rainfly shields entrances from rain or sun. Large mesh windows enhance ventilation and visibility, keeping the interior cool and comfortable in all seasons.
Unlike standard rooftop tents, the AX27 is purpose-built as a mobile adventure hub. Its ecosystem compatibility allows you to mount 270-degree awnings, solar panels, recovery gear, or shovel brackets directly to the shell. Whether you're building a full overland rig or streamlining a 4WD tourer, this tent adapts to your setup while maintaining long-term durability and convenience.
The AX27 Clamshell Rooftop Tent is engineered for travellers who demand rugged performance, maximum utility, and seamless integration in a rooftop shelter. Built for overlanding, 4WD touring, and expedition use, it delivers a complete rooftop camping system that performs reliably in the world’s toughest environments.
